I confess. I’ve put a chip to my Nintendo Wii. The first good thing is not to spend 50 euros in games that you play 20 minutes and they’re just not for you. But what I love more is to play sonic again in 37 inches using that small Wii. I just love it!
The chip I put was the D2Pro 9 cables with a Wii-Clip. Here I don’t have a good solder for small pins so I asked some friends to bring me the D2Pro presoldered with the wii clip. The installation is only to open your Wii and attach the device. After that it just works.
The only problem was to buy again small screwdrivers for the Wii surgery. I don’t have my disassemble-everything set with me right now, but in Eksarxia I found the famous tri-wing needed to open the Wii.

Today is my first day in a small internet travel agency in Greece. I left my job in a big ISP saving the world and some manager’s arses. Small company, quiet environment, small PC, and everything is done with windows and Microsoft tools.
Visual Studio, as always, impressed me with new tools that help a lot. But as always too, I could see the the not so good way it has to organize the code. Even I got scared when I saw the code for the automatic templates generated for asp web pages. Nothing is perfect.
Also I started to suffer the first windows problmes. In this case “I couldn’t open a .chm file”. So if you see in your windows a message like the one in the pic when you open a .chm file. Just modiy or create the following registry keys:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\HHRestrictions]
“MaxAllowedZone”=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions]
“MaxAllowedZone”=dword:00000001
All credits for this go to Ken.
So I hope I found a good place to work, and not another ISP chaos place.
